So as you may not know... before I lost all my friends and go into animation I used to make live action films... WEIRD ONES ^ ^ Well I remember back then everyone, including me had this video complex... because if you didn't have the money (like $50,000) to shoot on film you shot on video and for the most part it looked "cheap" Fast forward to today and with Canon's launch of this new $800 DSLR that shoots BEAUTIFUL "filmic" images IF you know what yer doing and have some tite lenses... there is no more video complex... Pair that with a Zoom H2 and you can do sync sounds in surround ^ ^ I own the Zoom and its great... so yeh for less than $1000 you got awesome looking images and surround sound... well actually we've had some pretty awesome cheap tech for a few years now... BUT WHO IS USING IT TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL?! From my perspective the technology has moved light years ahead of human creativity when it comes to art, film, animation etc... MA
